Do you get snow?

[FrontierNatasha]

Well I don't get snow of course because I live in California but I have been in fake snow. Our school does that on the last day before winter break and we do snowball fights at lunch. And where I used to live they had fake snow at a park near our house. So we get a little taste of snow at least. The mountains have a bit of snow though but I am never going again because last time I went for a week on a class field trip I got pnuemoniea(sp?) plus the fact that I am terribly afraid of heights. I wish we got snow though but then it probably gets very cold and I can't handle cold. It does get really cold over here but sadly no snow. Those of you who get snow are kind of lucky because you get to have fun in the snow and you get out of school because of snow days. Except for the fact that you probably get blizzards too. It's all the east coast right? Oh and of course Alaska.

[dancergirlsasha]

Well, we usually get snow in like late November, but it is like 65 degrees out right now. Really weird.. are these the effects of global warming?!

[ahockeyguy]

not just the east coast :)...i live in minnesota and we get way more then enough snow, it has already snowed a few times here. it is about 13 degrees outside right now :(..bbbbbrrrrrrrr

[BestLittleLauren]

No snow here..! I hope we dont get snow till like dec.. 14
! i already had to put up with the " suprize snow storm " in october!

[StitchfansJr]

Yup, there's snow by me.

[yo yo 700]

I'm missing the snow right now I even live in Minnesota! Every day I see a snow storm in Washinton I am praying for it to come this way, but it never does. :( I live in Southeastren MN so it may happen.

[Shaymojack]

Yesterday it snowed, but not enough to miss school. We're still very excited, usually here we don't get snow at all!

[swimmingneno]

where in california do you live, i like by sac... (well within 60 miles...)

[FrontierNatasha]

I live in Southern California, like a few miles from Disneyland.

[Nanoer]

This is how us Californian's get snow even in 100 degree temperatures:

:lmao:

[FrontierNatasha]

LOL I should get that!

[swimmingneno]

Lucky i wish i was that close to disney land!

[tmaxpuppy]

i wish it snows by me:)

[coolaronie]

I am a southern Californian as well! No snow where i live but we have to go to big bear or mountain high or something for snow. Snowboard yeah! lol

[Adventuredaz]

Not if I can help it. LOL we are more likely to get ice here but occationally get a dusting of snow. Problem is, unlike when I was from the north a small amout of anything frozen can shut the place down.

[jasonpwns]

LOL I live in kentucky and we get a snow storm (major) every 10 years i lived here for 6 years and the last snow storm was in 1996 I hope this don't effect anything. Well for us it's 32 degrees and we get a small draft of snow normally even a little ice on the roads closes school here in minnisota where I was born my dad said even 3-5 feet of snow and a high wind chill wouldn't get you out of school!

[Melp]

not just the east coast :)...i live in minnesota and we get way more then enough snow, it has already snowed a few times here. it is about 13 degrees outside right now :(..bbbbbrrrrrrrr
lol I'm with you on the bbbbbrrrrrrrrr :cold: :cold: (even as I sit under 2 blankets). Funny thing I am noticing is that the people who do not get snow really wish they had it, and those of us who do want to be warm lol (well for the most part lol) How about we switch places ;) Don't get me wrong though I love the seasons and the snow, but only want it to snow on Christmas just enough to coat the yards, but it needs to melt on the roads right away and not freeze over lol. Is that really too much to ask :confused3

in minnisota where I was born my dad said even 3-5 feet of snow and a high wind chill wouldn't get you out of school!
Got that right! I remember having to sometimes walk in 2 feet of snow to school!

[Miss-M-n-M]

It snowed like ONCE in Louisiana, that i know of. ( i hate it here ). It snowed when i was like 6. That was the only time i had seen snow :(

[milkabum]

Yup :) We already got some light flurries a couple times. We're waiting for the big dump next week.

[Spongeblair]

Normally I do but this year I think it will be February before we get snow.
~Spongeblair

[Groovydolly]

it snowed forever out here

[DementedRiku]

Yesterday it snowed, but not enough to miss school. We're still very excited, usually here we don't get snow at all!

That happened to me last week! It only snowed during the night and a little in the morning but not enough to cancel school. There were a lot of angry teens that day! :rolleyes1

[Renpener]

It NEVER snows in Los Angeles. Unless I drive up to Big Bear, no snow is in my list of things to do for the Winter.

[AbsoluteAwesome]

Recently visited my cousins in southern Cali. So very warm. Went back to the midwest. So very cold. And snowy. We had to come back early from the school trip because of the snow -.-

At least it DID snow. Otherwise, we would have come home for nothing... :/

[FrontierNatasha]

I have a few questions for you snow ppl:
What happens when the snow melts? Do you get floods?
How cold does it get?
Since you guys have cold temperatures, what about summer? Is it still cold or is it hot?
How long does snow last?
Do you ever get avalanches? Do you often get blizzards?
Do you ice skate in the lakes? Do the fish freeze to death?
Does water freeze when you put it on snow?
And last but not least: Is it fun? Or do you wish you were here? All nice and warm. :) Well not SO warm..

[milkabum]

IT SNOWED! Last night and this afternoon :) Wewtageness.

[dancergirlsasha]

Woke up to snow outside today. It was nice. :goodvibes

Well, I live in Rochester. I will answer these questions

When the snow melts, it's wet, and gross, and everyone is grumpy.
It's usually about 10-20 degrees, but we've been in negatives before.
Summer can be extremely hot, but it's Rochester.
Snow lasts between 10 minutes to 2 months.
Never heard of avalanches around here, get blizzards every (about) 10-12 years.
Never, and no.
Yeah, have to be really REALLY carefully on anything hard outside.
NOT AT ALL!! I wish it was warm, I HATE snow, it's fun for about a day, and then after that I would rather come in and play VMK (as if I don't want to on the first day!)

New York or Minnesota?

I'm in the Minnesota one.

Yea, -5 wind chill is not fun at all. Especially when you have to sit outside at a bus stop with other people complaining about how cold it is.

I figure I'll give these ?s a shot.

In some places maybe, but I haven't seen in a flood in the winter for a while now.

So far it's gotten down to 7 without wind chill. I don't even want to think about that right now..

It gets pretty hot. I think the hottest I've noticed was around 100, but that was in South Dakota and I don't think it counts.

It depends really. It's about 3-5 seconds for the early stuff, and, like Alionette said, can last to about 2 months.

It's been a while since a major blizzard, and there aren't too many non-ski resort mountains up here. So, no avalanches.

Ice skating is something I haven't really done. Tubing I do every year in Scouts (Tube Bowling is great, and chains.). And the fishies don't freeze, because the ice doesn't get too thick. Whatever would happen to ice fishing then?

Not usually, since snow isn't completely frozen.

Warm is really nice, but I wouldn't give up my soul for it. Snow is groovy. Snowball fights, sledding, and there's nothing like the look of a snowman's twisted face as spring arrives. Heh heh heh...

1. There is slush. Its gross.
2. Well, it was 60 here on Friday, but now it is coldish. It usually goes into the negatives once or twice. For now, we will probaly have 40 and below for a while.
3. Well, it can get pretty hot. Lst summer, there was a heat wave, and we were alerted to stay in doors and stuff. I think everyone went overboard, but better safe than sorry :)
4. Uh.. well, thats hard to tell. The amount of snowand temperature outside seriously effects it.
5. Blizzards? Sometimes. A few years ago we were off school for a week, and last year some trees fell down. Never have had an avalanche around here.
6. Don't know about the fish. Sometimes I go ice-skating on the cranberry bogs( there are alot walking distance around here.)
7. Uh... I really don't know.
8. Going to school with wet hair stinks, but I love snow. It gets you out of school, its pretty, it provides fun,... Its pretty awesome.

[FrontierNatasha]

Thx for answering my questions. :) I can't wait for the last day before break where there will be fake snow in the middle of the school. Plus . . free candy canes on the christmas trees. AAAH. .
I bet you all hate the extra chore of shoveling snow huh? Remember not to eat the yellow snow. . :rotfl2: Although I like yellow snow. . We have slushies at school and there is banana flavor and it is DELICIOUS. So yellow snow isn't all that bad. . :rotfl: Hey maybe you guys should try a prank of putting lemonade in the snow. :lmao:

1. Two words: Snow Blower.

2. That's too old school. I've made a really good pile of snow that looked like a person, complete with jacket and what-not, so it looks like someone's buried under the snow. It was in our front lawn.

Snow Person lame bury your little brother in the front lawn much funnier.

WARNING for all you snowboarders out there (You may want to bring a bucket before highlighting.):
I don't know if you all know this but some snow is artificial and made out of human waste from the sewer. Yup it's true. I believe it is whiter than regular snow. So if you see snow that is a completely different color from the regular snow, its human waste.

[CL_GreenStitch]

ahh...there's no snow like REAL snow. i get snow all the time where i am. i have 3 snowmobiles and i go up to my grandparents place to use the trails that they have right in their backyard. it's so awesome, i love it. snowmobiling is what i look forward to EVERY year :)

[AbsoluteAwesome]

I have a few questions for you snow ppl:
What happens when the snow melts? Do you get floods? No floods. It just kinda goes away and we have all this slush.
How cold does it get? Tomorrow it's supposed to be 11 degrees not including wind chill. Today it's mid 30's.
Since you guys have cold temperatures, what about summer? Is it still cold or is it hot? It's really hot in the summer here. We have hot nights, too, unlike California, where the nights are pleasant.
How long does snow last? A while depending if it stays below freezing. We get snow from November-ish to March-ish. We actually got snow in October this year, but it all melted O_o
Do you ever get avalanches? Do you often get blizzards? No, and yes.
Do you ice skate in the lakes? Do the fish freeze to death? Sometimes, but only if it's really cold. The fish here are adapted to the cold under the ice. There is cold water under a thick layer of ice.
Does water freeze when you put it on snow? No. The snow melts.
And last but not least: Is it fun? Or do you wish you were here? All nice and warm. :) Well not SO warm.. I, personally, LOVE snow. But I do have fun visiting my cousins where it's all nice and warm :) I couldn't live without white Christmases!

[milkabum]

have a few questions for you snow ppl:
What happens when the snow melts? Nothing. It just. Melts. Into the ground. or evaporates. We like to call it the water cycle. But maybe that's just me.
Do you get floods? If we get a lot and lose it too fast it's possible.
How cold does it get? Right now it's about -2 C, which is around 30 F.
Since you guys have cold temperatures, what about summer? Is it still cold or is it hot? This is why I love where I live. We get snow in the winter, and it's pretty hot in the summer.
How long does snow last? Depends on the temperature
Do you ever get avalanches? In the northern parts yes
Do you often get blizzards? Not too often but more than other places
Do you ice skate in the lakes? Yes, if the ice is thick enough. One of my friends made an ice rink on their backyard a couple winters ago.
Do the fish freeze to death? No. They live under the ice. The ice is only a layer on the water.
Does water freeze when you put it on snow? Uh. No.
And last but not least: HECK YEAH.

[milkabum]

Here's a webcam: This is the Harbour my boat is docked at. The boat is of course out of the water now for winter! The images are taken from a nearby hotel. You can see the snow on the ground but the lake isn't frozen yet. It's a bit orange today but I'm nt sure why. I showed it to BlueSomebody yesterday and it looked beautiful. There are more Toronto webcams on the site.

I'm in Edmonton Alberta Canada.. and it's been snowing here for the last 3 weeks.. I'm sick of snow! Only 4 more days til the honeymoon! Yippie! : )

[FrontierNatasha]

Who wants to switch places with me to see if we like each others environments. . . ;)

[FrontierNatasha]

Is snow edible? Well it is ice right?

[DonaldDuck4LifeDUCK]

i live in wisconsin so we get a ton of snow, we got a snow day last friday, its about 5 degrees wind chill is like -10, we got 2 feet of snow...im used to it...yeah it was another snow day

[shadow pirate]

Is snow edible? Well it is ice right?
I wouldn't call it edible, more like drinkable. But yes, you can eat snow, it just turns to water really fast.

[DonaldDuck4LifeDUCK]

i love snow, first i can handle the cold im a wisconsonite, me and my friends make little snow bunkers by the roads and then nmake peek holes and we throw snow at cars..man its fun...lol yes snow is edible ( just dont eat the yellow snow)

[DonaldDuck4LifeDUCK]

one time we made snowmen in the middle of the road( HUGE ice snowmen) and it acted as a road block, man that was fun, you have no diea how many ppl stopped to look for us, they couldnt find us our snow forts went underground... it was fun untill one gu caught us, he rammed down or forts and snowmen..we just rebuilt them:)

[milkabum]

Is snow edible? Well it is ice right?
Of course. It's just water. But eating snow is disgusting, it's just like rain.

Actually, they take large blocks of ice and grind them into very tiny chunks of ice, giving the effect of snow. I believe it's only at one or two hills they use that.

I hate artifical snow its pathitic I live in Minnesota and they need to make artifical snow. Thats why I dont go skiing or snow boarding. I just have a deep haterd for artifical snow.

[FrontierNatasha]

Wow four pages is a record for me!

[pinkgalYall]

Lol, we get snow every winter. You can eat snow i just recoment not the yellow snow.

[VMK_MagicalLadee]

Hah Woot Canada ;) I Can See Snow On My Trampoline Right Now. :sunny:

[Master Gracy]

it is cold, it just doesnt snow :surfweb:

[yo yo 700]

OK I just read I post on the 3rd page and that person said when the snow melt they get no floods. Once apon a time a few years back in the best town in Minnesota we got snow lots of snow. So much snow that there was minor flooding followed by more water hey well our man-made lakes filled up quite nicely :thumbsup2. My town even though we live in Minnesota has no nature made lakes I guess we arn't special enogh for glacier made lakes. :confused3

[FrontierNatasha]

Well you guys get lots of free snowcones. Now I'm really jealous. :lmao:

[yo yo 700]

I live in Minnesota and we have had one week where there was snow. Now there is no snow on the ground and its going to be 30 degrees F. Thats really warm for this time of year in Minnesota (40 is shorts.)

We go to Florida in the Winter and its like 45-50 degrees out so us being Minnesotans we had tee shirts and shorts. The Flordia Natives are pulling out the parkas looking at us like we are crazy :rotfl:.

[Funniebunny]

We haven't had any snow in this part of England. Lots of rain and today the was a bad frost but up until this week it has been unseasonably warm. I think we will get snow Jan/Feb. I would love to wake up to a White Christmas though

[BestLittleLauren]

we still dont have snow :( i guess this will be my first NOT white christmas..

[yo yo 700]

I haven't had any non white christmas's now im all depressed, but there is hope I guess mabey the snow fairy will come in the middle of the night on christmas eve.
